![Jese Leos](https://bookishfables.com/author/floyd-richardson.jpg)
Riot control vehicles have played a crucial role in maintaining law and order in countless civil unrest situations since 1945. This article explores the evolution of these vehicles from their early inception to their present-day advancements, as highlighted in New Vanguard 219. From water cannons to armored trucks, riot control vehicles have continuously adapted to ensure the safety of both law enforcement officials and protesters.
The Early Years of Riot Control Vehicles (1945 - 1970)
Following World War II, when societies were rebuilding and political tensions were high, the need for specialized vehicles dedicated to controlling riots became apparent. The first riot control vehicles were rudimentary, consisting of modified military trucks equipped with water cannons and tear gas launchers. These early vehicles provided law enforcement with a method to disperse crowds and maintain public order during protests, strikes, and other civil disturbances.

Riot Control Vehicles in the Modern Era (1970 - Present)
As technology advanced, so did the capabilities of riot control vehicles. Modern riot control vehicles are now equipped with various non-lethal deterrents such as rubber bullets, sound cannons, and foul-smelling substances. These vehicles are designed to minimize casualties and reduce injuries to both sides during civil unrest. The New Vanguard 219 publication provides an in-depth analysis of the latest advancements in the field.
Advancements in Riot Control Vehicle Design
Over the years, riot control vehicle designs have evolved significantly. Today, many of these vehicles are armored, offering protection to law enforcement officials who are at the forefront of maintaining order. These new designs incorporate advanced materials and technologies that can withstand attacks and projectiles while allowing personnel inside to operate safely and effectively.
The Role of Riot Control Vehicles in Society
Riot control vehicles have been a subject of debate in recent years. While some see them as essential tools in maintaining law and order, others argue that their deployment can escalate tensions and violate the rights of peaceful protesters. In response to these concerns, authorities have focused on training their personnel in de-escalation techniques and using riot control vehicles as a last resort, ensuring their proper use during civil disturbances.
Riot control vehicles have come a long way since their early inception. From basic water cannons to sophisticated armored trucks equipped with advanced non-lethal deterrents, these vehicles continue to play a vital role in maintaining public order during civil unrest. New Vanguard 219 offers a comprehensive exploration of the history and advancements of riot control vehicles, emphasizing their evolving designs and the efforts made to ensure their responsible deployment.

Fully illustrated with a mixture of dramatic archive photos and manufacturers' images, this volume covers the little-known history of riot control vehicles. It explores the world of these vehicles from 1945 through to the present day – from adapted military armoured cars such as the Humber Pig (UK) and BRDM (Soviet Union) to the fully computerized systems of the Russian Lavina-Uragan and Canadian INKAS Armored Riot Control Vehicle – showing how their development and deployment has blurred the lines between civilian actions and military operations. It charts how the vehicles have evolved in terms of technology and layout, and also details how the associated weapon systems have been refined over time, from water cannon and tear gas launchers to subsonic sound waves and microwave energy. The operational history of the vehicles is explained in the dramatic context of major incidents across the world, from the streets of Northern Ireland and Eastern Europe to the favelas of Brazil and the battlegrounds of Iraq.
